My best session ever was..
Hard to say, had a pretty memorable sesh at South Straddie a few months back.
Ive had some epic sessions up here on the points in the 2 years ive been here.

The best board I ever shaped was..
its hard coz my tastes in boards change so often, theres one i sold maybe a year ago that i always wish i didnt,
a 9’2 longboard, turned so well, was nothing special about it but it just had this feel about it.

The worst board I ever shaped was..
The next one i made for myself after selling the one above. Same as my usual shape but tried a totally different rail shape, like thick rail but comes to a sharp pinch in the center, like a lot of old mals u see. If u got it on the right spot on the wave it felt amazing but if the wave didnt give u the opportunity, which was pretty rare, it just felt like a dog. Glad i did it though coz now i know, it doesnt work!
